hondarider550 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hey everybody, Im looking at the thermometer and it is saying 32 degrees!!! And the worst of it all Im sitting here at home instead of ice fishing... Now that is not right. Honestly it is nice to get away from the -24 degrees and pretty soon get out to do some catch up work at home. Hopefully everybody enjoys their day...

PerchPounder Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I enjoyed my day by catching fish. No pics that can be posted but it was another good day on the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondarider550 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 I sure wish that I could have joined you today. I messed up my tractor badly so I had to work on getting that thing apart. I am planning on fishing next weekend for sure. The daughters boyfriend is planning on going along so there is a good chance that we will be there. When the time gets closer lets plan on getting together and catch some fish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerchPounder Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 It slowed down after I sent you that pic but we still caught more after that. I had to take advantage of limitless fishing one last time.HR Muc and I wont be fishing Iowa next saturday but we should be around somewhere on sunday.

Esox_Magnum Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Winter Games weekend anyway, West will be a zoo. I'll have to resort to Spirit. Maybe I can shack up with Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHESNTHNTR Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hey PP and you regulars down there, I guess I may need a little help. Fished Emerson this afternoon. Had probably a dozen sunnies come thru at scattered times, I had small gill pils, silver, black, ratfinkies, and a couple of other smaller jigs w/ eurolarva, pink and white both from Shucks. 2 lbs vanish line. Fish would just look, couple little twitches, didn't matter. No biters. What should I do.... Thanks Much for any advise. Sorry I missed the Boji Day, we had family Christmas....

PerchPounder Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 It sounds like you are pretty close. We catch 100% of our fish on plastics it does take a little experimenting with them but it almost always pays off. Its really hard to explain jigging action in print but the less the jig moves the better it usually is. The fish down there get exposed to just about any presentation you can dream up and sometimes little things like knot position and the slightest jigging action can seperate you from everyone else.

epkirkman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I will be out Thursday and Friday and part of Saturday on Spirit for sure. However,this weekend is the wifes big birthday bash in Greenville. I don't think I had better miss that one if I plan on fishing again this year:) My shack will be empty though if you guys want to fish out of it Saturday afternoon or Sunday.If not you could always join us at the bar for a few beverages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions of where to go and what to try? I have to make it look good and out fish this guy to prove who is the real fisherman... LOL At least he is still afraid of my guns...

Esox_Magnum Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 We are going to try West untill the sleds get on our nerves. Then probley Spirit as much as I don't want to. I'd try and help you out but I seemed to have forgotten how to catch fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epkirkman Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I sent you my phone number. I am sitting in the ice shack atm. I picked up a couple nice northerns today and have been catching perch one after another. Lots of sorting still but pretty fun. Give me a shout when you guys head out. You can drive out at Angler's with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epkirkman Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Yeah it cleared out I am all alone out here. The fish are still biting just a bit slower. Starting to pick up some bigger perch though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
